The precise control of tiny droplets on surfaces is essential for advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and ...

Emulsions are two-phase systems consisting of a dispersed phase (the droplets or particles) and a continuous phase (liquid diluent like water). In the dispersed phase, droplet size is critically ...

The size distribution of emulsion droplets effects the stability, performance, and rheological behavior of the dispersion. Multiple measurements are required to optimize the formulation through to ...

Putting tiny magnetic particles inside ordinary water droplets can turn them into liquid acrobats – the droplets can climb steps, leap over obstacles and jump-start chemical reactions. This level of ...

An evaporating colloidal particle–laden droplet leaves behind a ring-like residue after drying. We routinely observe this ubiquitous phenomenon for dried coffee drops; thus, it is known as the "coffee ...

A novel study demonstrates that droplets at a miniscule level can be precisely controlled, opening new avenues in micro-scale ...
